In his Truth Social tirade, Mr Trump slammed the August 2022 at his Florida home and private club.

“WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.

What's he complaining about? Isn't he the one who said the President can do no wrong?

He's not complaining. He's establishing precedent.

That seems like a dumb non-complaint that will nevertheless resonate with his paranoid base.

If you get pulled over for just rolling through a stop sign, did you know THE COP BRINGS THEIR GUN WITH THEM when they approach your car???

Seems like a weird stance to try, considering how right-wing most police are.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was kind of my point. Trump is trying to speak to his base that has no problems with police violence or guns, but do somehow care when HE complains about how it affects HIM.

Hypocrisy is the name of his game.

Lethal? Don’t give me hope like that!
